God's children improve all advantages to advance their grand end; they labour to grow better by blessings and crosses, and to make sanctified use of all things.

Let weak Christians know that a spark from heaven, though kindled under green wood that sobs and smokes, yet it will consume all at last.

Sin is not so sweet in the committing as it is heavy and bitter in the reckoning.

In the godly, holy truths are conveyed by way of a taste; gracious men have a spiritual palate as well as a spiritual eye. Grace alters the spiritual taste.

The whole life of a Christian should be nothing but praises and thanks to God; we should neither eat nor sleep, but eat to God and sleep to God and work to God and talk to God, do all to His glory and praise.

If we would make it evident that our conversion is sound, we must loathe and hate sin from the heart.

When we grow careless of keeping our souls, then God recovers our taste of good things again by sharp crosses.
